A larger, biologically active protein complex is created when two or more protein subunits come together to form a quaternary structure.

A protein's quaternary structure is formed when several protein chains or subunits come together in a compact configuration. There are separate primary, secondary, and tertiary structures for each of the subunits. Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces between nonpolar side chains hold the subunits together.

For a quaternary structure to function as a whole, the subunits must be arranged in a particular way. Any change to the subunits' structure or how they are linked results in noticeable adjustments in biological activity.

Which is the DNA tehory? How do we know the DNA contains genetic information?
ValentinkaMS [17]

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code. Human DNA has around 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. DNA sequencing theory is the broad body of work that attempts to lay analytical foundations for determining the order of specific nucleotides in a sequence of DNA

Chick require energy  from yolk, hence it is rich in fat (energy). It also needs to grow and develop, therefore egg yolk has lot of protein (building blocks). Lipid and cell with in the yolk help in formation of cell and strengthening of bones and feathers
